Retrofuturism 16

Description. "One World One Virus." Not unusually, media critiques
form the core of this dispatch. Negativland files a report detailing
their views on the Island Records vs. SST/Negativland case over the
provocatively named recording U2. The Immediast Underground's
contributions include plans for liberating us from the 'ecology of
coercion' by turning the force of the media spectacle back on itself.
It is fair to say that plagiarism is on everyone's mind, judging from
the contributions of Steve Perkins (in a guest editorial entitled
'Plagiarism: The Bastard Child') and Mark Palmer (an essay entitled
'Plagiarism: The Truth in Doubling'). The Copyright Violation Squad
also makes an appearance in support of Negativland, offering to make
copies their suppressed 'U2' recording to all who send in a blank
tape. And the League of Disdainists weigh in with a satirical
'Cultural Survey' on Mail art.
Contributors include. Stephen Perkins, Potlach, Immediast
Underground, League of Disdainists, Negativland, Copyright Violation
Squad, Enrico Aresu, Mark Palmer, Benjamin Allen, Thomas Wiloch,
Lloyd Dunn, Fintan Friel, Clint Simonson, Ross Martin, Florian
Cramer, U.A. Sanabria, Jean-François Robic
Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde Archive serves as a
repository for a complete collection of Photostatic Magazine,
Retrofuturism, and Psrf, (as well as related titles) in electronic
form. We are posting issues in PDF format, at more or less regular
intervals, in reverse chronological order to form a mirror image in
time of the original series. When the first issue, dating from 1983,
is finally posted in several year's time, then this electronic
archive will be complete.

URBAN DRIFT is an independent label and network based in Berlin, which
promotes a trans-cultural urban strategy employing all forms of media and
using the cityscape as both a medium and a sphere of action. Members of
Urban Drift act as tacticians for a contemporary urban praxis, developing
the discourse within Berlin as one of the primary cities of flux. Our aim is
to communicate architecture and urban design to a wider audience, to extend
the boundaries of the architectural discourse, and to maximize the potential
of interdisciplinary practice.
URBAN DRIFT is ....// a hybrid urban praxis, opening up and communicating
architecture to a wider audience // urban survival strategies // time-based
architecture, temporary and ephemeral // urban transformation and the
reanimation of lost, forgotten, hidden city spaces // drift-inspired by
random movement // neon-inspired // trans-cultural collaboration // the city
as a medium // scavenging, remapping and resampling the city in light, sound
and text // urban nomadism // 24 hours nightwalking // the reinvention of
spaces // intervention // urban curating // 'cities need planners for the
next century, planners who are autonomous, able to grasp multiple aspects of
reality and refashion them as narratives, to link an increasingly
heterogeneous population in decision making processes' // working with the
city's second skin // fluid identities which are never fixed, communicating
a mobile, fluid urbanity /
Enjoy the drift....

XXERO est à la fois un environnement collaboratif de type MOO, et une
plate-forme pour des rencontres et des événements live.
Elaboré par un réseau international de femmes associées à la liste de
discussion Faces-http://www.faces-l.net, ce projet initialement pensé comme
un outil de présentation et de communication pour participer à Ars
Electronika, continue maintenant un développement en parallèle de Faces.
Les contenus de XXERO sont axés sur les nouvelles technologies, le
cyber-féminisme, le langage puisqu'il s'agit d'un environnement utilisant
du texte.
Les membres de Faces ont, dans le choix d'un nom pour le MOO XXERO - "la
chose flottante" dans l'attente d'un nom - fait appel à une multitude
d'images auxquelles une identification était possible, des formes
organiques aux références digitales à la science fiction.
Cette discussion a reflété, et activé la question de ce que pourrait être
le féminisme aujourd'hui et l'identité en général, une question explorée
pendant la dernière décennie en conjonction avec les théories queer et
souvent dans un rejet des catégories dichotomiques masculin/féminin.
Les différents aspects de XXERO permettent le log in log out, à cet espace,
dans l'élaboration d'un discours et sa remise en question, celui d'un
projet, d'un contexte, d'une sphère sociale.
Le MOO et les événements live sont parties intégrantes d'un tout. Xxero est
un espace où s'élaborent des palaces de contenu, se rêvent des mondes et se
construisent en collaboration un village fait de textes, en une dimension,
qui s'ouvre sur un monde virtuel très concret.
Les événements live donnent lieu à des lectures, des workshops, une table
au café, pendant lesquels l'information est partagée et discutée, en privé
et en public. Complémentaires l'un de l'autre, le contenu et le media sont
inextricablement tissés ensembles, partagés et échangés sur la place du
marché là où nous vivons.
XXERO is both a collaborative, moo-based environment and a platform for
real life meetings and events. Built up by an international network of
women associated with Faces-http://www.faces-l.net, the project was
conceived in a real life Faces meeting as a tool for participating in Ars
Electronica, and continue now a developpement parallel to Faces.
XXERO contents are about new-technologies, cyber-feminism, and langage as
the environment is a tex-based one.
Faces members, has, in the choice of a name for the MOO XXERO - the
floatting thing waiting for a name - thought to a multitude of images from
organic forms to digital references.
What kinds of images can women identify with today? The complexity of this
question corresponds to the complexity of the larger question of "female
identity" in general, a question that has exploded over the last decade in
conjunction with queer theory and, in many cases, a rejection of the
dichotomous categories of "female/male" altogether.
The different facets of xxero allow for the participants to log in and out
of a vital discourse that they are creating as much as criticizing, one
that is a project, a context, and a social sphere. The MOO and the real
life events are integral parts of the whole - the MOO provides one realm
where participants build up content palaces, dream worlds that imagine the
best and worst of what technology has to offer. The real life events are
lectures, workshops, a table in the cafe, where information is shared and
discussed, in private and in public. Each half complements the other, the
content and the medium are intricately woven together as they are shared
and exchanged in a marketplace of our own.

For Immediate Release
NEW DOCUMENTARY PROFILES FOUR ARTISTS WHO USE COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY TO
CREATE INNOVATIVE ARTWORK
Akron, Ohio-June 4, 2002- Media artist Seth Thompson recently
completed the documentary Evolving Traditions: Artists Working in New
Media. The hour-long documentary focuses on four internationally
recognized artists and how their work has evolved from traditional
disciplines into the form now coined "New Media."
Featured in the documentary are artists Mark Amerika, Tennessee Rice
Dixon, Toni Dove and Troika Ranch. Ranging in such diverse artistic
backgrounds as painting, dance, music, bookmaking and writing, these
artists have incorporated current computer technology into their work
to enhance their artistic visions.
"The documentary serves two purposes," said Thompson. "One, to show
people how artists are incorporating computer technology into their
work with new and innovative ideas. Two, to serve as an historical
document, so that in the future people can look back to the beginning
of the 21st century and see what some of the leaders in this movement
were thinking at the earliest stages of this developing new art form."
Don Freeman, director of programming at PBS Channels 45/49, said,
"The evolving interaction between artists and computer/video
technology is an area that hasn't been explored often in traditional
television terms. Thompson's documentary will significantly
contribute to a wider understanding of this field."
Evolving Traditions: Artists Working New Media was supported in part
by generous grants and contributions from the Ohio Arts Council, the
Wexner Center Media Arts Program at The Ohio State University, Media
100 Inc., and The University of Akron (Myer's Faculty Grant).
The documentary is currently distributed by Wigged Productions and is
available for $29.95 (includes S/H) at
http://www.wigged.net/evolvingtraditions/ .

The CITY : STATE Network and Surveillance Unit of the UTS Community
Law & Legal Research Centre are compiling a reader of critical materials
on/around surveillance to coincide with the upcoming conference:
CITY STATE : flow / capture / control / rupture
- - a critical forum on surveillance and social control -
July 20 2002 : Horti Hall, Melbourne
The CITY STATE reader is an attempt to go beyond the continual silence
of governments, industry and conservative privacy organisations by
mapping the different ways surveillance is reconfiguring social space,
power and the ways that we live, and tracing critical paths of
understanding and response.
The only real restriction on contributions at this stage is that they be:
* brief (500 - 2000w)
* sent to us by 10th June 2002
* critical - i.e., providing new (beyond privacy) insights into how
surveillance works/is used in informatic environments.
Academic/Artistic/Activistic creations and reflections that are
surveillance related are all welcome.

Conduzione Raffaele Palumbo di Controradio.
domenica 2 giugno
ore 21:00
Al Parterre, in Piazza della Liberta' (Firenze)
Verrà presentata una ricerca di una equipe di studiosi diretta da Luca
Toschi sulla natura del linguaggio della comunicazione multimediale
(CRAIAT-Università di Firenze). Nell'attuale retorica neoidealistica sui
contenuti, una domanda: Come elaborare efficacemente i contenuti se non si
ha una conoscenza approfondita del linguaggio multimediale? "
Realizzare contenuti per i nuovi media (dai CD e DVD al Web) più che
all'attività tradizionale dello scrivere assomiglia alla progettazione e
realizzazione di uno spettacolo, con la possibile presenza contemporanea di
testi, immagini, animazioni, suoni, programmi che consentono
l'interattività. Non si ha più quindi l'autore singolo, ma una squadra di
operatori, ognuno con professionalità diverse, i quali, sotto la guida di
un supervisore, collaborano alla realizzazione di un progetto in equilibrio
fra autonomia creativa e obiettivo comune. In modo analogo, il libro

v1.0 SOFTWARE
HF CRITICAL MASS is freely available software, which is based on a 1971
film by Hollis Frampton titled "Critical Mass".
HF CRITICAL MASS adopts the structure of the earlier film as an interface
for improvising playback of digital video (quicktime movies).
Mac and Windows versions for download at:

=_ =_ =_ =_ =_ =_ =_=
The films of the late Hollis Frampton spanned the late 1960s through the
early 1980s. His work, Critical Mass, is one of a series of films
collectively titled "Hapax Legomena" that investigate "the specific
conditions of cinematic representation and the limitations and paradoxes of
visual description and narrative." (description by Steve Polta - San
Francisco Cinemateque, 2002)

Subject: Wigged.net: Fresh Ideas
WIGGED.NET JUNE 2002 E-NEWSLETTER--VOL. 2 ISSUE 11
Wigged.net (http://www.wigged.net) is an evolving Webzine focused on
bringing innovative short videos, animations and interactive works
over the Internet. Our mission is to be a showcase, distribution and
promotion center for experimental artists via the World Wide Web.
Wigged.net is for audiences seeking innovative alternatives to
traditional forms of entertainment.
******************************************
NOW SHOWING
Check out featured artists in the new issue of Wigged.net:
Humberto Ramirez's HATE.
Ramirez writes, "This is a video in which the cultural dynamics of
hatred are explored through a series of talking heads and monologues.
The video seeks to denaturalize a condition in which the potential
solidarity amongst different people is subverted by notions of
nationalism, race, gender, class etc.
By problematizing what seems to remain hidden or at least unspoken
this work seeks to provoke a conversation." United States. 2002.
Agricola de Cologne's Never Wake Up.
Based on the artist's poem of the same name. The poem/movie uses
some fundamental images: The "soldier" is metaphor for the human
individual. "War" is a metaphor for life, respectively the fights of
everyday day life; and the "veteran of war" is the human being who
cannot rid himself of the shadows of the past. Never Wake Up
addresses the loss of identity where the soldiers become distorted
and veterans have difficulty with reintegration into post-war
society. Germany. 2001.
Jimpunk's www.nowar.nogame.org.
Jimpunk ironically states that in his piece www.nowar.nogame.org,
"everything is under control." However get ready for a nerve-racking
event. At first you may think that your computer has been infected
with a virus. But don't worry, it's not. Fasten your seatbelt as
you embark on a mind-blowing journey that is a masterful mixture of
image and sound. Kudos to jimpunk! France. 2001.
Daniel Young's NewZoid.
NewZoid is a work of generative art. It plays with the most common
information form of our time - the headline. NewZoid continuously
collects the daily news, tears it apart, chops it up and endlessly
reassembles the pieces into absurd, funny, shocking and
thought-provoking headlines. The Site has been operating on its own
since April 8, 2001. United States. 2001.
Dinorah de Jes=FAs Rodriguez & Gustavo Matamoros's L'Anatomie du D=E9sir.
This assemblage of erotic images, found and damaged footage, and
handcrafted 16mm film was originally projected onto the torso of
Butoh artist Helena Thevenot as part of the one-hour collaborative
piece "The Anatomy of Desire." A tribute to biophysical impulses,
the video version synchronizes the film to its original score by
Gustavo Matamoros. United States. 2002.
Thomas Swiss and Seth Thompson's In the Woods.
In the Woods, a collaborative effort between Thom Swiss and Seth
Thompson examines the ideas of memory, aging and loss. The result of
the collaboration suggests the way language (in this case a poem by
Swiss) can be re-represented and changed by images (a film by
Thompson). United States. 2002.
